The Seigaku and Rokkaku semi-final match begins with Taka and Momo facing off against Amane and Kurobane, followed by Eiji and Fuji taking on Rokkaku's doubles one pair. Filled less with magical tennis and more with unusual equipment (Amane's large racket), the Momo and Taka match focuses more on strategy, a bonus for this volume. The plot is stronger when this doubles combination uses actual tennis to beat their opponents. Exciting but to the point, the Momo/Taka match reaches its conclusion without dragging on for too many chapters.
Because of the number of characters in this series (too many to count), the action often outweighs character development. To some extent, this volume falls into that - it's impossible to remember most of the opponents' names, but the stronger focus on Momo and Taka gives readers a heightened appreciation for these two members of the Seigaku line-up.

5/5 (Review is for the series as a whole and does not contain spoilers)
This series follows 7th grader Ryoma Echizen as he strives to become the number one tennis player at his junior high school. Throughout the series, Ryoma faces off against numerous opponents, each one stronger than the last, in an effort to help lead his tennis team to becoming the champions of the National Tennis Tournament.
This series is a cute, action packed story about some junior high school students playing tennis. No prior knowledge of tennis is necessary, as the author takes the time to explain how certain shots are executed and briefly mentions which professional tennis players may use those shots. As the story progresses, some of the tennis shots get a bit more unrealistic and overly dramatic, but it adds to the excitement and builds tension. (So note that if you are an avid tennis player, it might seem a bit out there in terms of realism.) This is a great series for people who enjoy sports manga, and who enjoy competition, as the boys in this manga continue to push each other to new heights in their skills. There are also some good lessons in the story that teach the readers about having fun and continuing to persevere even when things get tough. It also teaches readers that sometimes we lose, and that’s okay too. In terms of age ratings, I would say that this series is a safe one for those in middle school, or perhaps even a bit younger. Overall, I really enjoyed this manga for its low stakes, fun action, and enjoyable cast of characters.

The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 20 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (168–176) of the on-going manga series.
The tankōbon starts the Semifinals Match of the Kantō Prefecture Tournament having Seishun Academy playing against Rokkaku Middle School. It covers the first Doubles Match with Takeshi Momoshiro and Takashi Kawamura, which was a hard fought win for Seishun Academy as Rokkaku Middle School wins five straight sets, but Momoshiro-Kawamura reach deep inside to ultimately win in a 7–6 sets.
The second Doubles Match is partially covered with Shūsuke Fuji and Eiji Kikumaru who seems to be having trouble with their opponents as one player could contain Kikumaru’s acrobatic play and the other is equally a genius at tennis as Fuji. As the tankōbon closes, they are struggling to score against their opponents.
This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Takeshi Konomi. The Semifinals of the Kantō Regional Tournament has begun and Seishun Academy is leading with one match won, but it was a hard fought match that they barely won. Rokkaku Middle School was introduced as a school with a strong tennis team as they regularly make it to the Kantō Prefecture Tournament and recently the runner-up, which makes it a formable team for Seishun Academy to get through.
All in all, The Prince of Tennis, Vol. 20 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.
